[kuax]

Hey,
I developed my site with FrontPage, when i uploaded the site to Angelfire evcerything was workin fine until i try open the same site with my bro's pc - the font was different to the one i was using. I downloaded a font and used it for the title, when i opened it on another pc it came out in Times New Roman - any ideas ??
Thanks

If you absolutely have to have a specific type face for some decorative purpose then the ONLY way you can guarantee it is to create the phrase as a graphic image.

Also, you should assign fonts via CSS styling, and alwyas assign an alternative, generic font in case the specific font(s) you requested is not available to the client (such as the "sans-serif" below).

body {font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;}

Hello Kuax,
If you solve your problem please let me know how to, because I'm having the same problem as you do.
Looking forward to hear from you..

There are two possible solutions.

1. Select fonts from the half dozen or so that are actually supplied on all computers. You can vary this a bit by supplying a list of different fonts to look for in a list as previously suggested.

2. Create a graphic containing the text in your desired font.

Until CSS3 is fully supported by web browsers (probably once 99% of users have upgraded to version 10 browsers) there is no way to load fints to the web so that they can be effectively used on web pages. There are a couple of ways you can upload fonts to use but only a very few visitors will be able to access them.
